Hi Max,

Your settings seem sane, there's nothing outlandish in there.

The "cannot create executables" error seems quite generic in practise - 
I've never had it myself but google shows various reasons, all 
amounting to gcc can't run properly.

Top of the list is sandbox, whichis in your FEATURES. A few tests to 
determine what is going on:

1. Unpack unixODBC somewhere and manually config and compile unixODBC to 
test the toolchain
2. Remove sandbox from FEATURES and try again
